I’m A Celebrity‘s Maura Higgins has expressed her outrage at a major voting flaw with the show.
Sunday’s grand final saw McFly’s Danny Jones crowned King of the Jungle as he narrowly beat Coleen Rooney to the top spot.
Maura had joined her fellow evicted campmates, alongside Ant and Dec, on spin-off show I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked where the hosts revealed their winner predictions, which was was made weeks before.
Ant then revealed that he had correctly picked Danny to win and that he thought Maura would wind up in second place, before he then pointed out the huge disadvantage for the Irish beauty.
He added: ‘But they can’t vote in Ireland, that’s the problem!’ to which an unimpressed Maura then ‘booed’ in their direction and gave them the thumbs down.
Irish boxing legend Barry McGuigan then piped up, shouting: ‘You’ve got to change that!’ as Maura nodded in agreement.

Maura and Barry’s displeasure at the lack of Irish vote comes just days after viewers hailed the show a ‘fix’ over the same issue.
Irish viewers were not happy they can’t vote in the show after Irish stars Maura and Barry were eliminated on Thursday.
The former boxer, 63, and the Love Island star, 34, became the fifth and sixth person given the boot from camp in a double elimination.
I’m A Celebrity airs in the Republic of Ireland – and has done since the show began in 2004 – but viewers living there are not able to vote.
Some fans took to X to express their displeasure at the voting result and insisted both Maura and Barry would’ve survived if their Irish fans could vote for them.
They wrote: ‘It’s actually a joke that Irish viewers can’t vote’… ‘This wouldn’t be happening if Ireland could vote.’
‘What’s the deal with the Irish not being able to vote on I’m A Celebrity! It’s 2024 you have Irish contestants let us vote.’
‘This wouldn’t happen if Ireland could vote’… ‘WTF the only two Irish people left it’s so unfair that Ireland can’t vote.’

It comes after Danny Jones was crowned King Of The Jungle, beating Coleen Rooney in Sunday night’s nail-biting final of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
The McFly star, 38, broke down in tears as he met wife Georgia, whom he shares son Cooper, six, with, on the bridge with open arms in an emotional reunion after three weeks.
Although over the moon for campmate Danny, Coleen said she was ‘gutted’ after she shortly-missed out on becoming Queen Of The Jungle.
Before Ant and Dec revealed the winner, after receiving an incredible 10 million votes, it was clear Coleen wanted to win and have all the glory in the Rooney household.
Asked what it would mean to her if she won, Coleen said: ‘My boys have been proud of their dad for so long, it’s my turn now.’
After his win, Danny said: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I gave my all in there and it is a lovely feeling to be liked. I appreciate it so much.’
Ant and Dec announced earlier in the episode third placed star Reverend Richard Coles was the tenth celebrity to be evicted.

While in the Jungle, Danny charmed the nation with his charm and no doubt had the backing of staunch McFly fans after he opened up about his struggles with anxiety.
Prior to his win, Danny said: ‘It was way harder. I hope it comes across on TV but it is really hard. You’re tired, lethargic and hungry.
‘I’ve been my true self and shown what only my closest nearest and dearests’ sees.
‘I’ve learnt how valuable time is with loved ones. I always prioritise my job so much but I think I need to come out of it and practise that, time is precious.’
‘It has been almost like therapy’, Danny added.
‘What this jungle does is give you perspective on your life. I’ve learned something personally, I am coming out this jungle with something I have learnt something about myself.
‘Voting for just me is quite nice. The band has always been voted for but it is something really nice just voting for me just being my self.’
